Hundreds Protest in Cairo + Tell Egypt you stand in solidarity with Gaza

In Egypt, hundreds of solidarity activists from around the world are being prevented by the Egyptian government from entering Gaza. Dubbed the Gaza Freedom March, organizers were planning to cross the border last Sunday to commemorate the first anniversary of Israel’s assault on Gaza that killed 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. We get a report.

Please tell Egypt to let the Freedom Marchers enter Gaza this coming December 31 and to stop building another separation wall between Egypt and Gaza. Your emails will be sent to the Palestine Division in the Egyptians Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo, and to the Egyptian Embassy in the US.

Gaza Freedom March participants confronted by Egyptian security on the banks of the Nile. International Gaza Activists have been denied access to the Erez border crossing, and some groups have been confined to their lodgings, bus stations and embassies under threat of deportation. Thanks to Konda Mason for this footage.
